see how it il in this Instance but let

forget that At the outset we limited a.
the fact that this was intended to be
funeral sermon, and well try not to
get any more Misrepresentation and
falsehood into it than If generally
found in fun raj sermons.
Once there was bcvy Of innocent,
red checked, bright eyed boys work
ing in THE EXAMINER office. They
became imbucd with the idea that
the proprletors did not know how to
run the paper. They, in the tender
innocence of souls none too well
used to the bulIetings of stern
world and relentless newspaper pub
fishers, assumed to SLY to the
pub ishers YOU shall do 70 and so, or
we Will quit and start up au oppo-i-

few days the Monday Morning News
with "thc largest circu alton of any
morning daily in Waco" made its ap-
pearance. An. but il was a sick Iy
bantling from the frs. a few faint
wigglcs and its blessed Ii tie pink
toes were pointing out Astronomical
wonders in the sidereal heavens. It,
funeral has never been preached until
now. Upon another memorable oC-

the street and set up

Then last and least of all, two great

rich heritage of fame i'll confidential
and trusted connection with the pub
fishers aforesaid, and demanding

were totally untitled were also re-

They went out iuto the great cold
hearted world upon the assumption
